This has probably been explored before & perhaps should not be in ideology & philosophy, but is the fact whites are so rich a huge factor in so many white people not caring about their race? The Japanese are richer & they care a lot about their race.

PS: I am enjoying Voltaire at the moment, can anyone recommend other similar writers?

Not wealth directly. But I would say that the enormous, continuous, economic pressure upon us is a factor, yes.

I wouldn't think so, not wealth in and of itself.

Two issues here: The wealthy, and the not.

The wealthy have learned (through college and other social customs) that to be vocal about race is career suicide. You will be fired, or at least passed over for the promotions, if you insist on an all-White workforce. No promotions = no worth, as far as the company is concerned. Eventually you will be fired because you haven't been promoted. So the wealthy have learned to keep their mouths shut.

The poor (low-income) people are a bit more tragic...

I can't say for other countries, such as England and Germany, but here in the States I feel it is the incessant barrage of quips like "We're all immigrants!" and "We're all equal" and of course the neo-Marxist slogans like "Poverty causes people to be bad."

Once we were past the "hurdle" of seeing things in black-and-White, our racial focus had to be replaced with something...and our media-masters came up with a doozie: Consumerism (otherwise known as "keep up with the Joneses." Consumerism demands wealth (disposable income). If you don't have it, you get a better-paying job. This destroys company loyalty (a two-edged sword) and eventually all the good jobs are taken--or sent overseas.

This leaves low-paying jobs for most people...creating the need for two-income families. Two people working means you need two cars...two maintenance schedules...daycare fees...more money to spend just to live.

Pretty soon a person's focus is not on race (if it ever was) and instead becomes focused on a desperate struggle to make ends meet.

The Japanese are richer? Where are you getting this from? Or is this a perception you have of the Japs, because of their large export market in autos and electronics. The nation of Japan itself has just over a $3 trillion economy and a per capita income of $24,900. The U.S. has a $9.963 trillion economy and a per capita income of $36,200...

They like most European nations produce 2/3rd of the wealth that the United States produces.

I think it has a huge amount to do with it. I dont agree with the Aryan idealism but I do by and large think that whites are without a doubt lacking in the area of racial identity. I think whites nowadays focus more on Political and Geographical identity, than on a cultural one. Which is in part why we have such a hard time uniting.

Laziness is a side-effect of wealth, they can afford to let their children do whatever they like. And the television baby sits them because they are away working. If someone is wholly possessed that they absolutely must chase after physical wealth at all costs, they will forgo everything else..to say nothing of some kind of racial identity. This happens more and more to whites everyday.

Thus wealth itself is not the cause but rather it is the character flaw within the parent. I have seen children raised with strong character and a strong awareness of their racial identity from rich and poor families alike. It is in what they taught their children and in making the most of the time that they spent with them that these parents excelled.

And the I have also seen the exception to the rule, where you've done the best you can and the child is still going to stray. In those cases it seems that our best isn't good enough and usually it happens when we go it alone and don't place importance on strong bonds with like minded families. Kids need friends and they need to make them somewhere else besides in our inner city schools. This is the place where religion enters into the discussion, it is a means of forming community bonds that are beyond (if we keep it that way) liberal tampering. It is one of our last and most powerful strongholds if well handled. It does require an open mind, but until we realise that the truth is but a reflection of a higher order we will always look at it in narrow stereo-typed ways and blame every evil in the world on religion.

It is the evil in man that causes the evil in the world and evil men will use any tool at their disposal to have their way, including religion. Infact it one of the most effective tools in the arsenal, but just like any tool, it can be used to tear down or to build up.
